Chicago band Friday Pilots Club (Caleb and Drew) jumped in the Mazda CX-9 (on loan from the spectacular team at The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston) for conversation and food from Red Hot Ranch (3057 N. Ashland). Discussed this week: The Mazda CX-9 lends itself to an Iron Chef-type scenario. Bands need protein. Friday Pilots Club's winning the national next2rock competition, earning them a record deal with Big Machine Label Group. The band's reaction to being judged by the likes of Chris Jericho and Jonathan Davis. The night of the finals: What went on in their heads? Drew's laptop died like a Viking. The parade that welcomed Friday Pilots Club back to Chicago after their win. Next steps for the band: Album recording with a producer? The bands songs to-date. My favorite song, "Gold and Bones," an exercise in vocal calisthenics.&nbsp; "Bad as Hell": It's a sex song. Swagger is a key ingredient of the band's total package. Caleb's crotch issues on stage. Friday Pilots Club needs more fog on stage.
